G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, We're talkin' GLAMOROUS!

Carrington has entered the world of shiny, bright and beautiful bling! On Saturday the women in Carrington's life, that can't resist a new piece of jewelry, took her to get her ears pierced. Aaron, my mom and sissy having been pushing for this since the day she was born. I've been hesitant but decided why not, and maybe, just possibly it would help distinguish her as a little girl when she wasn't wearing a bright pink hair band, pink dress, pink shoes and pink paci. Yes, I'm a little sensitive when she's called a boy. We took her to Claire's (in the mall) where the nice associate told us she was the only one working so we would have to pierce her ears one at a time. I started to second guess my decision (I've teared up every time Carrington's gotten a shot) but mom and sissy weren't about to let me leave without new earbob's in sugarbeans ears. Carrington waited on my lap like a big girl while the associate sterilized all the parts and got the machine gun, I mean piercing gun ready. Little did she know the pain I was about to inflict on her all in the name of beauty and bling. The first shot in the ear startled her and produced a few tears but the second, well that just ticked her off and sent her into the famous "Carrington scream and wail". What's that they say...beauty comes with a price! Meanwhile, I was jumping with joy at how cute she was with her new, shiny, pink flowered jewels. The tears and pain didn't last long and by the time we were out the door she had forgotten all about the torture. MeMe bought her a red polka dotted dress and shoes to go with her fabulous new look! Little does daddy know but he has opened Pandora's or Finks' (our favorite jewelry store) box in allowing Carrington to get her ears pierced. I love having a little girl!
